Bantam Columbian and Mottled Cochins SOLD

[tiki244]

The first time I would like to try the black and blue and if all goes well then the second time I would like all three hens eggs. Does that sound ok?

 

[Msbear]

I can do that or just give you a couple extra.. (I'll make sure you get at least 6 of the blk and blu). I've been collecting a blk and blu one day then the buff the next so if they stay on this schedule, we're good to go

funny thing... I caught my roo, Chow Yung Fat, on the nest today. He was all fluffed up and singing while one of his girls was laying...How cute.

O that is sooo cute !!!!

I just love those little guys, they are soooo sweet.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I received Msbears test batch today, 2-7, and they all arrived perfectly intact due to excellent packing! Thank you so much and I'll post fertility results when I candle around day 5. I'm putting them in the incubator sometime tomorrow.

Ms. Bear,
I would be interested in the eggs, especially those from the odd color hen buff/mottled. She's pretty.
Thank you--Shylee

Thanks, sackman. I know you were interested in mille cochins a while back.. Just wanted to let you know I received a dozen from Lynne aka wmicasa1. 9 out of 12 are developing nicely and they flew to WV all the way from California. ...she has lovely mille fleur cochins and there is a post about them on this forum...may have to scroll down a few pages or do a search.

Thanks, Kathy. Im pretty confident in my columbians but Im honestly concerned about the mottleds. The eggs I've cracked recently have not been fertile... one was and I believe it was the buff (she's a lot less fluffy) so Im going to hold off on shipping any of my mottleds until I can feel great about sending them. I've given them all one heck of a trimming but I think Im going to have to resort to AI.

I really didn't want to get THAT involved but I want to get some babies for myself!!

I'll keep you posted as to my efforts

and when they will be available. ..And, please, I want everyone to be confident in purchasing from me... my policy is I will guarantee at least a 50% hatch. I cannot refund money but I will replace your entire order for only the actual shipping costs.

Wish me luck.

Those columbians are gorgeous too. Wish I had more room.

 

[Msbear]

AI wasn't neary as quick and painless as I thought it would be

I had no success today. I trimmed all three of them waaaaaay back and Im going to keep trying every day to see if we can get any progress.

what fun.

and I caught my blue girl hangin around the nest an awful lot today so I may have just missed an entire season with her.

lol i had an rir (believe it or not) hang around the nest a lot today....it would be sooooooo cool if she went broody!! then id go straight to your place and take any egg i could get my hands on lol.....even if i hatched em for you...id just like to see an rir go broody and one of my own hatch some chicks

 

[Msbear]

I just heard back from my test hatcher and I am soooo bummed

My mottleds are all clear and I assume they are infertile. I've had several here that I've tried to incubate and wound up throwing out. All the ones I have cracked are not fertile. I've attempted AI to no avail ....That is a lot more complicated than I thought it was going to be so Im thinking of selling the mottled trio.

Out of 6 columbians, only one is showing signs of veining. Every one I crack IS fertile so I've come to the conclusion that these are just extremely fragile eggs. To those whom I have already sent columbians to, I will honor the 50% hatch guarantee... so I will replace you orders for free until you get 3 chicks

but Im afraid this will be it for shipping eggs.. I will be hatching more and could sell baby chicks but I don't want to get into shipping them..

Tiki, I so bummed for you.. I really wanted you to have some

Im very sorry to all who were on my list.
